When I hear the term “Mr. YouTube,” the kind of imagery that immediately springs into my mind is that of a psychotic computer-generated humanoid—part Mr. Beast and part Max Headroom. The music on Mr YouTube, the newest release from the German artist djytb, doesn’t not sound like that depiction. Its fusion of experimental techniques and two-dimensional AI-generated rock moves often falls into the uncanny valley, which is also where that Beast/Headroom hybrid lives and haunts your dreams. Deep into the record, though, the track “bubbles” seems to restore some humanity—and melody—to the proceedings. This guy djytb, he contains multitudes. There are levels to this shit.
